We understand the local market dynamics, from the energy sector to manufacturing, ensuring you are presented with the most relevant opportunities, much like we do for roles such as Warehouse Operatives in Portsmouth or Construction professionals in Leeds.

- Adhere strictly to all Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) policies, including wearing appropriate PPE, participating in safety briefings, and maintaining a clean and hazard-free workspace.
- Work collaboratively as part of a shift team, communicating effectively with colleagues, supervisors, and maintenance personnel to ensure seamless plant operations and handovers.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Plant Operator, Process Operator, or in a similar technical hands-on role within an industrial setting (manufacturing, energy, utilities, chemicals etc.).
- A strong understanding of mechanical and process principles, with the ability to follow complex operating procedures and technical manuals.
- A unwavering commitment to safety; relevant safety certifications (e.g., IOSH, COSHH awareness) are highly advantageous.
- Reliability, a strong work ethic, and the flexibility to work various shift patterns (including days, nights, and weekends) as required by the client's operational needs.
